Schumer secures $5M for new Warrensburg health center

The Hudson Headwaters Health Center in Warrensburg, in a former A&P supermarket, will be replaced with a new two-story building that will double the center’s space, thanks to $5 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The new $6 million building will be built in front of the existing structure.

The nonprofit Hudson Headwaters Health Network, which had its roots in a single center founded in Chestertown in 1974, now provides health care in a 3,700-square-mile area of the Adirondacks, operating 14 health centers and providing 260,000 patient visits annually. It employs 550 people, including 120 physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners.

Construction of the new facility is expected to begin next spring. When i’s completed, the existing building will be demolished and the space turned into a municipal parking lot.
